Course reviews

I love the mix of open and thru the tree's shots. Tee's need to be concrete and baskets are pretty beat up. Super fun when its dry. A swamp when its wet. Needs restrooms closer to the disc course,long walk to the one thats there. A beautiful course and fun to play.
**Updated 6/4/14** The course has been receiving some nice improvements and upgrades. A few new Mach X baskets with a complete change-out to come soon. Holes 5 & 6 have brush cleared and opened the old pin for 5. As with hole 9 and ... continue reading ›

Holes 5 & 6 have brush cleared and opened the old pin for 5. As with hole 9 and a new basket. Money being raised for new concrete tee pads, some new pin and tee positions to make it 18 holes. Still needs restrooms closer to course, more trash cans. There are big things planned for Oak Grove which will make this a great play. ‹ less text

10/18/14 ... This is what was needed to make this a destination Course! Nice Job to all involved and I must say I love the new tee boxes! Beautiful 18 Hole Course! Too Flat n Muddy... Tee's WTHell... Uneven Rubber, and you have to Pay for that. I was really Disappointed in this Place as you (WE) must Pay to Play... You Might think they would do something a little Bigger n Better than that for the Money. Sadly... I will NOT be making this a Future Hot Spot.

Better Drainage is a Must in this LAKE... Maybe a Conversion into an 18 or 27 Hole Course! 03/10/12 They took out some of the Baskets (too muddy) Pads still Suck! ‹ less text

Great course. Lots of fun. No worry about losing discs. Multiple holes that will test your accuracy. A few that let you grip and rip. No elevation changes and only 15 baskets are what is keeping it from a B+ or an A-. Once it dries out it will be great for bbq and a couple of rounds.

"Friends of Champoeg Disc Golf" on Facebook is working with the State Park to improve the course. Check there for updates. On 8-18-2014 18 new huge tee pads were poured. As of 9-18-2014, 18 holes are in!

A fun for the whole family course when it is dry. Great mix of holes for all ages. The rubber tee pads should really get replaced with concrete, and three more holes would make this an A course in my book. Not because it is a hard or epic course, but simply because it is a fun course for my entire family. A bathroom closer to the course (even a porta-potty) would be a great addition.

A fun course - a perfect place for beginning to intermediate players. Advanced and pro players will have fun playing with just a putter or midrange. Beautiful park setting in an oak grove.
With a few exceptions, this is a pretty tough place to lose a disc.
Natural teepads, and some are getting a little choppy, but run-ups are not needed on many holes.
No signs, but the course flows well and is very easy to follow with a map.

As noted in many other reviews, this course gets very moist in the winter/spring. Save this one for the summer/early fall and you'll have no problems.

There are a lot of negative reviews saying this course only has 15 holes. I''m not really sure why the big hang-up on a course having to be 18 holes. Play it 2-3 times - a round doesn't take too long, you won't get bored with the holes, and you'll get plenty of golf in. ‹ less text

FUN Course. Some cool pin placements. NO elevation changes, but the layout almost makes up for it. If there was some elevation in the mix, this would have been an A course for me for sure. Still, was a BLAST playing this course for the 1st time and I WILL play it again! Oh, Well Groomed Course. No Lost DIscs!!!!

Arguably the first DG course in Oregon. Champoeg plays mostly flat with trees. This lack of elevation change which can result in swampy terrain, as well as the fact this course is not a full 18 justifies the C+ rating. Other than that it is a beautiful, well kept course and well suited to people who would prefer a flat course for various reasons.

Enjoyed this course. Great use of all the oak trees to shape routes. This is an A grade course that gets a B- because of rubber teepads, and no signage. I would also like to see better baskets or chains added to current baskets (Herbert Hoover Park style) and three more for a true 18. Looks like there is enough land for an additional 18 as well. This could be a destination type place with some work.

The changes made here have turned this place into an A+ tournament course. It has everything to challenge a player, obs, dense oak trees, enough long holes and obstacles on every hole you really have to play well to shoot negative rounds.
Winter time I could see where standing water could be an issue, and replacing the old baskets would be nice.
Champoeg has been revamped into MUST-PLAY course!!!

This is my home course. It's forgiving if you're new to the sport. I have heard from a few veterans that they get bored here. I've been playing for only three months, so I like this course. They have been mowing it almost daily now that summer is in full swing. Good baskets, but they only have one set of chains, tee pads are decent, but not concrete. Champoeg will always be home since this is where I learned to play. This is a great course for introducing friends and family to our awesome sport.

fun course, quick play through and easy to not lose track of discs. rubber pads get soopah slick when wet and if you get caught out there at dusk you run risk of getting locked in for the night. Killer course if you like a mix up of distance and technical without a bunch of brush and nature crowding up the holes.

Sweet park. When I parked my car I said to myself, "You have got to be kidding me". After a round I was ready for another. the park plays surprisingly well considering how flat it is. The baskets are placed just right, and you will spend more time playing then looking for your disc.

My home course. It now has 18 cement tee pads. There are multiple tee locations on most holes now with the addition of the tee pads which is nice. Older innova style baskets plus 3 mach x so far. The new cement tee pads add quite a bit of distance to the holes as well. There are 4 brand new holes that are just waiting to have basket sleeves put then it will be the full 18 hole layout. There is currently no signage up on any of the holes and only a few garbage cans situated through the course. No benches either.

Great course. Everytime I have been here the grass was well kept up. I just went camping at Champoeg and they had some fairly nice shady spots. The course deserves a better rating but they could also use concrete tee pads and signage.

Huge tee pads!!!! The tee pads are amazing some of the best I've seen. Not bad layout. Only real cons are not much elevation change, but some pins are in stumps which is cool. Also no signs so navigation can be confusing. Course is like in a swamp so it gets really muddy most of the year. New Mach x baskets on front are nice. With signs this course will go up a little in my book

Great tee-pads, instant hit with the mach-X's. semi-long technical shots, pretty well kept. Could have gone without seeing one of the trash cans overflowing with booze containers. Didn't care too see that even when I "was" a drinker.

Awesome teepads, great variety of basket locations. Lots of good work recently upgrading this classic course. My only criticism is the long walkouts could be confusing to new players, some added signs would help. And if people want to play old school style the OG rubber tees are still there.

Fun course!!! The new layout can be tough. The teepads are BIG and all holes have multiple pin placements. The course is still missing tee signs and its hard to navigate if your a first timer. Also, there is still a few holes with the old baskets but most have the new Mack X's.
